3D Printer – Extruder – Universal Paste Extruder for 3D printers

Thingiverse commentaar:

This is a universal paste extruder for RepRap and other 3D printers.

It allows you to experiment with various pastes on your 3D printer without the need for any air compressor equipment or valves etc.
It simply uses the existing Extruder motor output from your printerâ€™s electronics.

I challenge you to make one that works with 50ml Syringes! or do a fully parametric version in SCAD :)

And a very big thank you to Greg Frost (and derivatives) for the wonderful work done on the Parametric Involute Bevel and Spur Gears script, without this, the gear set would have taken me a lot more time to make.

An assembly video for the Universal Paste Extruder can be found here, giving you details of how to build one up – http://youtu.be/iiyEOKpz_b8

You can print with Ceramic Clays, Silicone, Sugar pastes, solder paste for PCB assembly, Chocolate, Frostings, Masa Harina, and all sorts of other foodâ€™s or pastes that can be extruded through a syringe.
